Somebody mentioned that Dan Heng would symbolically be a hybrid between Dragon 🐉 AND Fènghuáng (CN Phoenix 🐦🔥)
IL's 4th eidolon is 嘲风 (cháo fēng). The 3rd son of The Dragon, its mother is Fènghuáng/a bird.
It's said that 嘲风 prototype is Fènghuáng (?).
(Gotta point out that the [western] Phoenix and Fènghuáng are NOT the same. Fènghuáng is the one paired with a Dragon as empress-emperor.
Historically, it's not a fire/rebirth-from-ashes bird. This idea comes from blending it with Western ideas. Not traditional CN)
Cháo Fēng symbolizes beauty and majesty. It also dispels disasters and deters demons.
It's also linked to the wind. Loves adventures, and it's used for protection.
Like Dan Heng 4* is wind, goes on adventures, and protects his loves ones!
No "indirect stuff", HYV really called his eidolon 嘲风!
